Research Overview

Stephen Palmisano is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Wollongong. He received his PhD from the University of New South Wales in 1997 under the supervision of Professor Barbara Gillam, and then worked as a post-doctoral fellow with Professor Ian P Howard from 1998-2000 at the Centre for Vision Research, York University, Canada. His research investigates how we perceive and control our own self-motions (such as walking as well as traveling in cars, trains and even planes) and role that binocular vision plays in our perception of depth (so called stereoscopic perception).

Teaching Overview

I have taught in a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate psychology subjects at both UNSW (1993-1998) and UOW (2000-current) – including Introductory Psychology, Cognition, Developmental Psychology, Statistics and (primarily in) Perception. I was the first in my school to receive a Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to Teaching and Learning (a UOW OCTAL award) and have since played an important role in teacher development within UOW Psychology and University-wide. In 2008, I was appointed a UOW Peer Reviewer of Teaching (Dean’s nomination, 2008).

Teaching Overview

I have taught in a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate psychology subjects at both UNSW (1993-1998) and UOW (2000-current) – including Introductory Psychology, Cognition, Developmental Psychology, Statistics and (primarily in) Perception. I was the first in my school to receive a Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to Teaching and Learning (a UOW OCTAL award) and have since played an important role in teacher development within UOW Psychology and University-wide. In 2008, I was appointed a UOW Peer Reviewer of Teaching (Dean’s nomination, 2008).
